Because this was a installation intended to test the installer, the target partition was an extra partition on an already running system. Therefore, I was not able to test the installers ability to create and use the NewWorld partition (previous installs had problems with this). The network detection, which failed on previous installs, worked flawlessly with this install. The only problem I had was that the installer reconfigured yaboot without asking me if I wanted to keep the configuration that I already had. Although this is not a major problem, it would be nice if I had the choice between keeping the existing configuration or installing a new one. This would only be necessary if the installer detected an existing yaboot installation. As such it would not have to interfere with the "automatic" installation of yaboot for users installing for the first time. Thanks to the developers for a easy and powerful installer!!
